Never thought it could be done...

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2003)

This film is something I wouldn't have thought possible. A zombie movie that forces you to think??? That's right! This movie actually has depth, while retaining and entertaining characteristic. Not to say it's not flawed, but it's really good. I'm not one to usually go for zombie flicks, but this film didn't try to even focus on them. Much of it deals with a world where there is NO ONE (zombie or human). AND just when you think zombies are the 'real' danger; ***spoiler*** (slightly) here comes the military. NOW who's the monster here??? Very well done on creating monsters to take a look at humanity's darker side.
All the performances were quite realistic, and when there was fear it wasn't mindless histaria like you'd see in MOST zombie (or other horror) films. It was the real kind of fear that spurs us to fight for survival. As opposed to sitting and screeching without any action. I especially thought that the actor who played 'dad' did really well. And Seleena's actress.
If you want to know what might happen if zombies were thrust into the 'real' world, this is the movie to see.
ALSO, I like ALL the endings portrayed on the DVD. The mind of this movie's creator seems to still have that edge (having seen Trainspotting) I know feel compelled to see other of his films. Check this movie out, even if you don't think you like zombie ficks, it'll surprise you.
8/10 thank you
